This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship)
program organized by the ACC Calgary Alpine Chair jointly
with ACMG Guide Brent Peters. For level 3 participants the
expectation is that you have previous ice climbing experience
leading WI4 ice. The goal of this event is to refine your ice
climbing technique to make you more comfortable leading
WI4 ice. You already know the correct climbing position but
want to refine your technique and get individual feedback
including how to manage the pump. At the end of the course
you should feel comfortable climbing steep ice and finding
rest positions in difficult terrain.
To sign up for this event, please add yourself to the waiting
list and email Luis Salgado (luchohernan@hotmail.com) your
previous experience. Once you are approved, please send
the payment to treasurer@acccalgary.ca and email Luis the
confirmation. You will then be moved to the participating list.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Luis at
403-437-4053 or to luchohernan@hotmail.com

| Notes: |
|
Your payment
method is as follows:
1. Send an INTERAC e-Transfer to the ACC
Treasurer using the
Treasurer@ACCCalgary.ca email address. Do NOT
forget to let the Treasurer know your name, email
and the course it is for! Plus advise the e-transfer password
in a separate
email. Also email confirmation to the Course
Coordinator (luchohernan@hotmail.com). They will then move
you to the attending list.
|
|
Once payment has been received by the treasurer you will be
moved to the confirmed list. There will be no refund for
cancellations.
Courses will run regardless of weather unless the guide
deems conditions unsafe then a back-up option may be
executed. This is to be decided by the guide the evening
before.
Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
